California’s Senate passes Solar Access Act to speed up residential PV permitting

The Solar Access Act is designed to speed up residential solar permitting through an instant, online process.

California’s Solar Access Act (SAA) has passed the state’s Senate, clearing its final legislative hurdle, and will now be sent to Governor Gavin Newsom to be signed into law.
